I think it looks good, Id just touch up the areas that were cut with paint.

I love that look, im planning on doing it before i reapsray my car.

Touch it up somehow first, then post some pics!

I'd pay $25-$30 for one.

that damn sure ain't what happened with the hoods, and I don't think he understands the first thing about airflow. none the less, if someone will hold his hand through the development process, it would definately be a product that you'd see on many cars.

Bottom of the page - and yep: not cheap.

How much is that???

$250US for the fiberglass, $300US for the carbon fiber at current exchange rates. :eek:

That's it. Fuck, it looks so good, I'd almost pay it I'd pay $100 for it without a doubt.

worked good enough

I like it. Prefer the functional look. Been thinking about doing similar myself, it's just having the balls to actually cut my bumper!

Love it. How would one go about buying it though??? Don't speak/read Japanese - is there a US or UK supplier?

looks like i could cut a good amount of extra metal from there.

I'm starting to consider taking all the unnecessary shit out of my car...kinda like there's no turning back at this point. Its going to be irreversable...I don't know why I'm hanging on to that logic.

You can yank 8 pounds from under the bumper skin. Go to my website to see some pics (I only took 4.5 pounds out but when I go back in I'll get rid of the rest).

yup :) i'm happy with my VIS kit though....a much bigger hole in the front bumper

so I'm thinking about cutting along the red line. Will that free up some air flow, or a waste?

I've also thought about cutting a semi-square hole, and doing something like this:

Wonder why they would want to restrict the air flow like that?

probably to keep shit from puncturing the rad. I bet the splitters there help with the restriction.

I don't know if the marginal increase in airflow would compensate for the loss in structural integrity.

I expect you are getting more than enough air into the engine bay. I would consider ducting and extraction instead.

not my car. I don't really want to cut the top of the bumper because its so ugly. I have an FM hood, but I'm still worried about radiator airflow.
